HASTE THE DAY Bassist On The Making Of 'Dreamer'

October 17, 2008

MTV.com's "Metal File" recently spoke to bassist Mike Murphy of the Indiana-based Christian metalcore band HASTE THE DAY about the making of the group's new album, "Dreamer", which hit store shelves this week.

"We recorded the record in Indianapolis, in this studio, and all the other studios were always occupied by hip-hop acts and rappers," Murphy recalled. "There were a lot of rappers in Indianapolis, trying to get their thing on, and Brennan [Chaulk], our guitar player, found a notebook from months ago that had been left in our studio. It had all these really funny hip-hop lyrics, and our singer [Stephen Keech] took one of our songs, called 'An Adult Tree', and sang the lyrics over the music.

"The lyrics were about hanging at the club and having breakfast in bed — it was pretty sweet," Murphy continued. "We recorded the song with those lyrics, but it didn't make the final version of the album. Maybe we'll release it as a special edition or on a re-release. Maybe we'll just put it on our MySpace page. The lyrics, especially the breakfast-in-bed part, just sounded really, really funny over our music. No offense to the mystery lyricist — he was just trying to do his thing."
